Tascam US1800 Midi connection problem w/ AxeFx Ultra

[TheRealSam]

I don't know if it's the right place to post this, feel free to move the thread if you think it is misplaced.
Here's the thing. I recently bougth a Tascam US1800, which works like charm except for one thing. I just can't manage to plug my AxeFx Ultra into my PC (XP, SP3) using Axe Edit. I've got two MIDI cables plugged in (one from the Axe's MIDI in to the Tascam MIDI out, and the other from the Axe's MIDI out to the Tascam MIDI in), and even get some interaction between the soft and the hardware (tempo changes are detected, as well as when I try to sync both of them, I get a "Dumping in progress" message on the Axe, then nothing).

I also already tried to reboot my computer, triple checked the wiring, changed the sysex ID, nothing seems to be working. It might be something very stupid that I forgot but honestly I don't see what.

Could you please help me out? I'd really like to update my Axe's firmware, as well as use Redwirez Impulses and upload my patches.

Thanks in advance!

Nobody?

Edit: so yeah, there's definitely a problem in the connexion between the Axe's in and the Tascam's out as I get the same results (response from the axefx) when I unplug the cable and leave only the one from the axe's in to the Tascam's out. I trully hope it doesn't come from the axe, as I already switched the cables (so it doesn't come from any of them). :/

EDIT2: reinstalled the audio drivers of my Tascam and did the loopback test (plugged a midi cable directly from the In and Out of the Tascam). It passed. Meaning that there's nothing wrong with the Tascam. Yet when I still get no response from the axefx to axe edit. Damn :/

MIDI does not transmit audio. MIDI is used to send progam change information or send commands between devices (ie. PC and a Synth or a Pedal and a Preamp the the Axe)

To sonnect your Axe to the PC you will need audio cables and an interface, or used the spdif output to connect to a card on your PC that accepts spdif.

The axe is not made for connecting to a PC, its made like any other QUALITY preamp and needs audio cables in order to get audio out of it.

Yes I understood that perfectly, but I thought that I could be able to do that using the Tascam US1800 as an interface between the PC and the Axe.

But it works now, I just bought a Roland UM-One and it seems to work fine.

The Prodipe USB-MIDI interface does not work by the way, I tested it too.
